Shipping More, Understanding Less

Every tool that makes your job easier is quietly atrophying a skill you didn't know you were using. Evan can't remember the last time he let himself get bored. Zach uses GPS to drive home. And Brocc stopped playing chess in 1963 when a machine played better and decided his time was worth more. In Episode 6, the conversation turns to what we're actually losing when every problem has a 30-second answer — and why the people who do the hardest work now are more leveraged than ever. They dig into why senior devs ship 2.5x more AI code than juniors (and it's not what you think), what vibe coding is doing to the next generation of developers, and why Evan thinks you need to plan at 100% before you ever open a prompt window. *Timestamps:* 00:01:15 — Is losing boredom the same as losing creativity? 00:03:12 — Brocc: "I ship faster than I used to, and I can't remember how I figured things out" 00:14:47 — The real difference between a senior and a junior developer 00:24:29 — "The floor is rising and the ceiling is rising" 00:43:45 — Brocc's closer: "Use AI to go faster. Use difficulty to get better. Don't confuse the two."
